About This Content

The Northeast Corridor is the United States’ premier passenger railroad line, linking Boston to Washington DC and moving thousands of passengers daily through this extremely busy part of the country. It ia also North America’s only high-speed line operating at speeds up to 150mph. Now available for Train Simulator, the Northeast Corridor Expansion Pack puts you in the cab of the classic EMD AEM-7 locomotive along the 90-mile core section between Philadelphia and New York City.

The railroad known today as the Northeast Corridor was in place from the early years of the 20th Century, with electric services between New York City and New Brunswick beginning in 1932, and with electrification as far as Trenton by 1933. The line was operated by New York Central and the Pennsylvanian Railroad (merging to form Penn Central Transportation) for many years until Amtrak took over intercity services in the early 1970s. In the late 1990s the Northeast High Speed Rail Improvement Program (NHRIP) was implemented in preparation for the high speed Acela Express service. The EMD AEM-7 electric locomotives, as featured in this expansion pack, were produced by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors between 1978 and 1988, and the AEM-7 soon became a familiar sight as the workhorse of the Northeast Corridor.

The Northeast Corridor Expansion Pack is a faithful recreation of this bustling high-speed line, with fabulous skylines, miles of railroad to explore and hours of challenging driving for you to enjoy!

Key Features

90-mile route from Philadelphia 30th Street Station to New York Pennsylvania Station, with realistic signalling and track work, stations, cities and scenery.

if you want high speed american trains. this is the route for you. but the route does have a lot of problems, that need DTG attention as soon as possible. the route it self is good. but far from the quality of newhaven. many sections of the route. are very long, and straight, and are great for testing trains like the TGV from railsim fr, or the german ICE trains.

I absolutely hate playing this DLC route. So many bugs - especially the speed limits which always catch you out. For example you would be going at 80mph and suddenly without warning, the speed limit is now reduced to 60mph or 45mph. There was nothing to warn you in advance of the new line speed ahead, as a result it ruins my career scenario as I get penalised for speeding. Also I've had issues with signal problems which caused me to crash into another train even though I was given the all-clear. Avoid if possible.
